->'''Bus driver:''' Hey, where's your bus pass?!
->'''Penhall/[=MacQuaid=] brother #1:''' My dog ate it.

->'''Hanson/[=MacQuaid=] brother #2:''' I've got the same dog.

A car is stolen from a mall, where it was the main bingo prize. The prime suspects are high school students, so Hanson and Penhall go undercover and assume their role as "the [=MacQuaid=] brothers" again. While they're trying to find the car thief, a high school boy who's being bullied asks "the [=MacQuaid=] brothers" to protect him.

!!This episode provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: A boy Hanson and Penhall meet is being mentally and physically abused by his father; amongst other things, he gets a beating with a belt by the father.
* BattleDiscretionShot: The main guest star of the episode gets a beating by his father. This is not shown on-camera, but by the sounds we hear, it's clear his father whips his back with a belt. Later we see a shot of his bare back and it is covered in scars from the whipping, so it's clear that is indeed what happened, but it wasn't shown on-screen.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Deconstructed. The father of the main guest star scolds and humiliates him for not getting a perfect 100% score for his high school grades. The boy is deparate to earn his father's approval, and he eventually steals a car. After his father finds out about that, a confrontation follows... which sadly leads to the boy ''killing'' his father (possibly in self-defense).
